Rags, I said sunflower feeder because that is what I put in it, but it is a springed squirrel-proof feeder with a cylindrical hopper. The feeding apertures are at the base of the cylinder. It will hold any seed up to the size of sunflower seed, but peanuts are large enough to jam the divided tube.
The starlings wiped out a new suet cake in 1/2 day. The "caged" suet feeder, designed to keep out large birds and squirrels is touched only by the wrens. I thought that might be the case, but was hoping the bluebirds and nuthatches might also venture in.
